Replication error applying snapshot

  • Hi guys, has anyone seen this before? Doing my head in!

    Replication initialised & snapshot files generated.

    Copied via ftp over the internet (uncompressed due to size)

    When applying the snapshot files at the subscriber this error occurs:

  • So, after further investigation, looks like the distribution agent at the subscriber is trying to read data out of the snapshot files before they've finished copying!

  • How did you resolve it?

  • I waited!

    After a while the errors resolved and I could see all the data in the target database. Very odd.

  • Apparently... "Good things come to those who WAIT" 😀
